Hi everyone!

I'm in desperate need of some advice!! Thanks to everyone in advance! :happy:

I'm currently a junior undergraduate (NY resident). I have a cGPA of 3.72 and a sGPA around 3.60. I took the MCAT in Jan. 2019, however, I only received a 501 on it (127,124,124,126).

ECs:
75 hours shadowing 3 doctors (2 MDs and a DO)
35 hours volunteering at a free clinic
250 hours volunteering at an urgent care office
160 hours research
1100 hours working (not medically related)

I have letters from an MD, DO, 2 PhDs (science profs), MD/PhD, and a graduate student (who taught a language class).

I'm definitely looking at DO schools and possibly offshore (depending if I can get into DO). I'm just wondering if my stats are good enough where they'll consider me.
 
You could receive interviews at these DO schools with your stats:
ACOM
ARCOM
BCOM
ICOM
UIWSOM
NYIT-Arkansas
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
MU-COM
LUCOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
LECOM (all schools)
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
Most of these schools have MCAT medians in the 498 to 502 range.
